Life can be hard. Whether it be pushing through a sickness
to getting out of bed in the morning, we all have struggles that life continues
to hand to us. And to be honest, most of life struggles are only as hard and
time consuming as we allow them to be. Don’t get me wrong – being sick isn’t a
choice and it sure is a struggle, but it’s how you HANDLE being sick that
matters. And things like waking up for work or having to talk to your mom don’t
HAVE to be a struggle! Struggles can really be considered opportunities if we
allow them to be!

A few days ago, a good friend of mine sent me a list of “27
things that will make your life easier,” by Erin Williams. The list had really
good and encouraging advice to take in, and I’m sure it’d be just as encouraging
for you too. This list really does urge possible struggle situations to
become opportunities. Three of the most help tips, for me at least, were these:

“Slow down. The minute you realize — as clichéd as it is —
that life really is a journey and not a marathon, the better off you’ll be.

Realize when it’s
not working out and move on — apply that to whatever situation you wish.

Don’t feel the
need to fill gaps of silence with blathering comments. That makes you sound
like an idiot.”

And as for those
three tips, they’re just the tip of the iceburg. The list had a lot of other
helpful hints as to how to make your life easier – so check it out here.
